   This "sudden push for Wayland", also known as what's been happening for the past decade, has nothing to do with XLibre existing. The project is really cool, but portraying XLibre as what's forcing the hand of projects is nonsensical at best. Read the blog posts of the desktops

     @BrodieOnLinux nah, the project looks pretty much like a shit show.

     @gboncoffee @mks_h The readme might be dumb but the work is what ultimately will matter

     @BrodieOnLinux @gboncoffee reading up on this issue #1797 I've got the idea that his changes are mostly junk code style improvements that break everything, and that he's been given enough chances. The following comment is especially insightful:
     https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1797#note_2804024

     I don't entirely rule out the possibility that this project actually does something tangible, but I would also be surprised if it will.

     @AdrianVovk @gboncoffee @mks_h README's can always change to be fair, I know where you're coming from but I've seen too many cases where something is written off too early and then it ends up becoming important.

     @BrodieOnLinux @gboncoffee @mks_h Even assuming this project will be able to produce good work (which I find... unlikely) it'll never be adopted by anyone with any amount of sense because of that README. The relevant distros are going to stay the hell away from this project to protect their communities. The rest is a fraction of a fraction of people
